I am getting a mommy makeover the first week of December. I have a Carribean trip planned the second week of January. How can I expect my body to look in terms of swelling and discomfort? Could I wear a bikini? Can I swim etc?

Answer: Swelling Swelling is not uncommon after a tummy tuck and typically lasts quite a while. 80% has resolved by 3 months and the rest takes up to a year to resolve. You have to be patient with the healing process.I don't let my patients submerge in water for 6 weeks. Enjoy your new look!Sheila Nazarian

Answer: How long until the swelling goes down after a mommy makeover Thank you for submitting your question. After 6 weeks, if there are no complications, patients are cleared for exercise and swimming. It may take up to six months for the swelling to subside and the true result seen. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Best wishes
